Who is the deadliest operative?

So, I spent my entire night last night marathon-watching the first two Jason Bourne movies, and I just wrapped up the third one. It got me thinking, so I wanted to kick off a poll to see who you guys think is actually the best operative in film and TV. 😁 Here’s how I’m ranking them 😁 :

1. Jack Bauer (24)



2. James Bond (James Bond films)



3. Jason Bourne (Bourne trilogy)



4. Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible)



5. Bryan Mills (Taken)



6. Michael Westen (Burn Notice)

Honestly, I am having such a hard time making a call on this one. 😁

Jack - Nobody can get the job done quite like Jack in a mere 24 hours, especially when he's wounded, infected with some biological pathogen, hasn't slept, hasn't even taken a bathroom break, and so on. 😁

Bond - 007 handles every problem with total elegance (well, at least he did until Craig 😁 stepped in). I might have to give Bond a vote too, just because of that one scene with Craig and the eggs. 😁

Bourne - This guy doesn't even know who he is or where he came from, yet he remembers every foreign language and combat skill imaginable, plus he's incredibly efficient at disarming guys in hand-to-hand combat. 😁

Hunt - He feels a little bit flamboyant, probably because of Cruise. 😁 Still, the man is a legend, especially for that motorcycle stunt in Mission: Impossible 2.

Mills - I actually think this guy would be the most dangerous opponent Jack Bauer could face, considering he can dismantle an entire American crime syndicate or a Middle Eastern tycoon in just 96 hours. Not to mention that unforgettable scene where he runs after the car and leaps onto a yacht. 😁

Westen - No one pulls off different identities quite like Mike; he can go from a blue-collar worker to a high-powered executive to some basement tech geek posing as a computer repairman. 😁 And we can't forget the little spy lessons we get in every single episode. 😁

In the end though, I'm going with Jack 😁 : LINK

I’m putting my money on Jack Bauer, mostly because of how he handles criminals... he shows zero mercy to anyone... and there isn't anything Jack can't handle, whether he's wounded, captured, or whatever else comes his way... he just kicks ass.

Jack is just on another level. Honestly, nobody else could pull off killing that many people in a single week...

You mean... in a single day?😁😁

Anthony Smith3 said:Are you saying... all in just one day?😁😁

No. I actually counted the total days per season. :-)

Jack Bauer is definitely... a legend 😁

Jack Bauer... because he's literally the only guy Chuck Norris is actually afraid of. 😁
I mean, Liam Neeson is getting close, but he’s still got a long way to go. He needs a lot more training before he hits that level. :P 🙂

Chuck Norris, hands down. He might not be an operative, but he’s the deadliest man alive...

The topic at hand is the field operative.

Honestly, after watching that bike scene, I feel like both Woo and Cruise deserve a reprimand—and frankly, so do I for sitting through it.

Bryan Mills is the real powerhouse here—if he’s this effective at 45, imagine how unstoppable he must have been in his 30s.

Jack 🙏

Jack Bauer. He doesn't eat, he doesn't drink, he doesn't sleep, and he definitely doesn't take breaks...
Just a man with zero mercy...

analogpilot16 said:That bike scene alone makes me want to take out Woo, Cruise, and myself just for having watched it.

Bryan Mills is the real deal. If he’s this lethal in his mid-40s, imagine how unstoppable he was at 30.

No, no, no, absolutely NOT.🙂🙂

That one sequence is the only reason to rewatch the movie... or honestly, just watch that specific part. Hands down the best motorcycle chase ever put on film.🙏

Anthony Smith3 said:No, absolutely not!🙂🙂

That one sequence alone makes a rewatch worth it. Honestly, I'd watch just that part on loop. It’s easily the most incredible motorcycle chase ever put to film.🙏

but it still feels a bit over the top...

David Price5 said:but then it somehow ends up being totally over the top...

Pretty much happens 99% of the time with action flicks... whatever, it's still cool.

Just two names you need to know: Jack and Bauer.

I honestly can't believe Michael Westen didn't get a single vote. It's like people haven't even seen the show. 🤷 It’s a genuine shame, though. I’m telling everyone they need to check it out because the series is legendary. Plus, Mike's buddy is none other than Bruce Campbell. 😁

Jack 🙏 🙏 🙏

Westin never actually killed anyone as a hitman...

Just a reminder, the thread title is "The Deadliest Hitman"
